Head-to-head evidence
enicepatide vs liraglutide
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

enicepatide
Developed by Roche
NCT06525935 · Phase 2 · completed
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in 469 adults with obesity and at least one weight-related condition. Enicepatide 24 mg produced significantly greater weight loss than placebo at week 48, 22.5% placebo-adjusted by one analysis method and 18.3% by another, both p<0.001, meeting the trial primary comparison.
Caveat: this result is taken from a company announcement or a news report of one, not from the trial registry or a peer-reviewed publication. Treat the figures as the sponsor's own statement, not as independently verified evidence.
Next expected readout: November 2027 · NCT07589686 (registry estimate)
liraglutide · Saxenda / Victoza
Marketed by Novo Nordisk
NCT00781937 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomly assigned 212 participants to liraglutide and 210 to placebo in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, with objective body-weight outcomes assessed at week 56. All three prespecified primary comparisons favored liraglutide and were statistically significant (each p<0.0001), supporting a strong evidence grade.
